GLP-1RA medications are effective in achieving optimal glucose control and reducing all-cause death, cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, and end-stage kidney disease in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

GLP-1RA medications can be considered for improving glucose control and reducing serious health risks in diabetic patients.
